[ She pulls away entirely, with a huff - this is not funny, Kol. ]

I'm sort of keeping you a secret... At least right now.

[ She pauses, eyebrows tugging together and a frown forming on her face. ] Rebekah tried to talk me out of bringing you back. She lied to me about promising to help. They're having some stupid fight with the witch that wants Klaus' baby dead and they keep dragging me into it.

[ She shakes her head, agitation clearly evident. ]

I don't want them dragging you into it. Klaus' enemies aren't our enemies. I'm tired of everyone using me for my powers!

[ Somehow this was the wrong topic, Kol... ]

And I'm not losing you again - not because of them.

[ She doesn't care if they're his family or not. ]
